As seen on WWE Raw at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, WWE ran an arrest angle with Vince McMahon, and later in the show a “mugshot” of McMahon was revealed following his “arrest” at the beginning of Raw.
Former WWE creative writer Kevin Eck posted a new blog taking a look at the angle, and brought up the arrest angle done back in 2014 with Stephanie McMahon and Brie Bella, during which Stephanie was “arrested” on Raw for slapping Brie.
Eck noted that no mugshot was released of Stephanie McMahon during that angle, and revealed that it was Triple H who shot down the idea. Eck wrote the following:
“Vince loved it. In fact, I think I may have gotten one of his “that’s good thinking” figurative pats on the back. However, when the creative team ran the angle by Triple H, he didn’t care for any of it, and he especially hated the mug shot idea.
His reasoning was that the faux mug shot of his wife would exist forever in cyberspace, and therefore if someone did a Google search on Stephanie and the photo popped up, people might think she had actually been arrested, which could be detrimental to her career as WWE’s Chief Brand Officer.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
